“Once again the school board continues to prove they don’t care about the children’s welfare and safety. They are going to vote again to move fifth-graders into a school with sixth, seventh and eight-graders.”

“Beaufort County just passed a fire ordinance. It says you can’t build a fire. And then it says you can’t build a fire within 75 feet of a road or structure. But then it says at the end of it that you are exempted if you are doing it for food consumption, religious reasons, campfire or some other reason. Umm. Why in the world did they set this in the first place? This is a contradiction and waste of taxpayers’ money.”

“Please help. Tell me what to do. I am seeing children in grocery stores and other public places being slapped, yanked, sworn at and talked to horribly. I am upset. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to see this anymore.”

“I agree with the person who called in about roosters. It is very inconsiderate for people to leave themn out. My husband and I would like Mr. Cahill to put his roosters back in the back of the farm. Your roosters are the ones who are getting the other ones to start crowing. This is getting out of hand, Mr. Wes Newton.”

“What can we do about roosters in the unincorporated areas of Beaufort County. I have been speaking to a lot of people who live in these areas and who are willing to sign a petition. Is this how we can restore peace and quiet in our neighborhood?”

“To put Scotch tape on the child’s mouth was not appropriate. To some, what goes on in some schools this might be mild.”

“It is truly amazing how many CEOs and managers have forgotten the basic tenets of business. They don’t run their companies. The hourly, hard-working employees do. You would be better off if they would just listen to their employees.”

“World War II was over in 1945. My question is why do we still have over 400,000 troops in Germany, France. Okinawa. Just to name a few places.”
